Chapter 5 Driving for You
The crowd quickly snapped out of their daze from the divine voice and bowed their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at the deity.
As for his identity, no one would doubt that he was a false god. After all, the extraordinary phenomenon that just occurred and the pressure exerted by his mere glance were things that no human could accomplish.
This is a true god!
Seeing that the Moon Goddess was about to leave, He Yan suppressed the fear of being on the verge of death and asked in a respectful and humble voice, "May I ask what brings the Moon Goddess to the mortal realm?"
After speaking, fearing that the goddess would misunderstand that he had been spying on her whereabouts and purpose, he quickly explained, "Although I am just a mortal, I still have some status in this world. I am grateful to the Moon Goddess for not abandoning me and for allowing me to be at her beck and call."
This guy's pretty savvy!
Xi Yue was satisfied, but her expression remained calm, as if she didn't care about his words.
Seeing that the deity seemed about to leave and didn't care about them, He Yan racked his brains trying to figure out how to keep the deity here.
Or you could stay by the side of the gods!
But after thinking it over and over, I realized that I was just an ordinary mortal and didn't seem to have anything that I could offer that would catch the attention of the gods.
He looked somewhat dejected.
They may be mortals who have been fortunate enough to witness the true face of the gods for thousands of years, but they could not hold onto the gods...
Although He Yu was not as clever as He Yan, he knew how fortunate it was to encounter a deity. If he could be by the side of a deity when they were in the mortal world, it would not only bring glory to his family, but he would be on equal footing with the emperor.
Seeing that the Moon Goddess had already floated past them and was about to leave, he didn't think twice, and some words just blurted out.
"Moon Goddess, there are many novelties and delicious foods in the mortal world. If you don't mind, you can come with us, and I'll show you around."
Upon hearing this, if it weren't for the presence of the Moon Goddess, He Yan would have wanted to give He Yu a good whack on the head.
Don't tell the gods about your usual fun and games with your friends!
A deity descending to earth is unprecedented. There must be something important going on; it couldn't possibly be for mere food, drink, and entertainment!
He almost immediately wanted to ask the moon goddess for forgiveness.
Before he could make a move, the Moon Goddess's beautiful voice rang out: "Oh, you know?"
A hint of interest appeared on the Moon Goddess's usually aloof face.
This is the character design that Xi Yue gave to the Moon Goddess. She descended to the mortal world simply because she was too bored in heaven and wanted to see the excitement and prosperity of the human world.
The Moon Goddess, who is usually silent, is like the cold, bright moon hanging high in the sky, untouchable and unapproachable.
But if He encounters something that interests Him, He will speak to people in a kind and gentle manner.
As for temperament, well, there's no absolute distinction between good and evil; I do things entirely based on my own mood and preferences.
If we consider Him a benevolent god, He will also reveal His evil side to mortals. If we consider Him an evil god, He will also do good for the people.
As for the specifics, that needs to be added.
At this moment, He Yu couldn't think too much; he just felt that since the Moon Goddess was interested in what he was saying, he definitely had to continue.
He Yan, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth but remained silent.
Who would have thought that the moon goddess seemed interested in these things?
"I often travel around with my friends, so I know all the good places to eat and have fun. And my brother, he's very knowledgeable, he knows all the festivals and customs in different places..."
As He Yu spoke eloquently, Xi Yue wore a faint smile.
Seeing this, He Yu spoke even more enthusiastically.
He Yan never expected that his younger brother, who was always unreliable, would one day be so useful!
He's not stupid. The Moon Goddess was about to leave, but she stopped to listen to her brother's nonsense, which clearly showed she was interested!
After thinking about it for a moment, He Yan felt that he understood.
Since gods reside in the heavens, it's certainly not as lively as the human world, so it's quite possible that they are interested in the prosperity of the human world.
Feeling instantly on the right track, He Yan waited for He Yu to finish speaking. Seeing the Moon Goddess's thoughtful expression, he immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "The mortal realm has its own rules, which may not apply to you, Moon Goddess. However, traveling in the mortal realm will inevitably cause some trouble. If you don't mind, my brother and I can solve these problems for you, allowing you to enjoy your time in the mortal realm to the fullest."
Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess glanced at him indifferently. This time, there was no sense of danger that had nearly brought him to his death as before, but he still felt immense pressure.
"You mean, I came to the mortal realm just for fun?" His tone was light and indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.
But it was precisely this tone that made He Yan break out in a cold sweat instantly.
I was careless. Even if a god descended to earth just for fun, he shouldn't have said it so openly.
Just like some emperors throughout history, who secretly left the palace to seek pleasure and pursue romantic encounters, but publicly claimed to be on an incognito visit to observe the lives of ordinary people.
"No, that's not what I meant…" he tried to explain.
The next second, the Moon Goddess revealed what could be described as the first gentle smile of the night: "You guessed correctly."
ah?
Not only He Yan, but also He Yu, who wasn't so bright, and the guards behind him who dared not speak, all realized that something was wrong.
But they couldn't quite put their finger on it. They just felt that the moon goddess in front of them gave them a strange feeling, and seemed somewhat different from the compassionate gods in myths and legends.
If they lived in modern times, they would probably know how to describe it: This moon goddess looks a bit sick.
He Yan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, Goddess Moon, I will send someone to bring the carriage here."
The moon goddess remained silent, but everyone felt the scenery before them blur and then they found themselves beside the carriage.
This...this...
Everyone was astonished and excited at the sight of such miraculous abilities.
He Yan looked at the carriage, then stole a glance at the Moon Goddess, who was dressed in a cool and noble manner, like the bright moon in the sky, and frowned slightly.
I hadn't considered these things before, but now that I look closely, the carriage, which is considered luxurious and understated by mortals, is not worthy of the Moon Goddess.
He opened his mouth, as if to speak.
Unlike him, He Yu, who was not as thoughtful, looked at the deity with bright eyes and said, "Moon Goddess, let me drive your chariot."
He Yan was unsure whether to say his younger brother was smart or not.
He was clever enough not to realize that the carriage might be disliked by the moon goddess.
If you say he's not smart, his initiative to drive, bringing him closer to the Moon Goddess, might make her remember him more.
He sighed inwardly, but maintained a respectful expression: "If the Moon Goddess does not mind, may we wait a moment? I will have the carriage cleaned."
In fact, the carriage was not dirty at all; on the contrary, it was very clean, and the interior furnishings were quite expensive.
But when facing noble deities, one must naturally give them 200% respect
